Let me begin by saying that I lived in Illinois when I first connected with Peter at California an agency who provides no cost assistance for LGBT issues. Our interactions were done via e-mails, snail mail and phone calls. I wanted to have my military discharge updated to reflect changes | made in my life. Peter knew exactly what to do, whom to contact and nearly all of the ins-and-outs of dealing with the military branch I'd served in. That in and of it's self is no small feat when dealing with a government entitiy! He told me what was needed from me and took off with it from there. Well, it's been a little more than 2 years since starting this process and he has achieved what has often been the nearly impossible. My disharge papers have been successfully changed and my life is more complete than ever before. Although Peter no longer practices at the agency he was with when I first encountered him, he has maintained contact with me at his new agency and has taken an interest and the time to see the whole process to it's completion. His kind of lawyers are far and few between. If anyone needs a legal representative and ally Peter is your man!
